Tasting Notes For Pahlmeyer Napa Valley Proprietary Red 2018
Crafted with unparalleled attention to detail, this wine is the epitome of elegance and finesse. The 2018 vintage is a true standout, with rich aromas of wild blackberry, cocoa, and supple leather that fill the senses.
The deep, structured palate is the hallmark of this wine, showcasing perfectly balanced tannins that are sure to reward patience over the next decade or more. On the palate, flavors of forest berries and black currant are layered with hints of freshly turned earth, aromatic herbs, and dark spices, making for a complex and concentrated experience.
This wine’s dark and opaque appearance is indicative of the depth and complexity within each sip. The finish is long and energetic, leaving the palate with a lasting impression.
Critic Ratings
The 2018 Red Blend Proprietary Red could easily be mistaken for a great vintage from Château Latour, at least aromatically. Blackcurrants, scorched earth, lead pencil shavings, and a gorgeous sense of minerality all develop in the glass, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, concentrated mouthfeel, building tannins (and plenty of them), and a great finish. This brilliant, world-class Cabernet is going to benefit from 4-5 years or more of bottle age and have 30+ years of longevity. The blend is 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, all brought up in 95% new French oak.
